Added the studio's pot description, the Aloe Salve volcano note, and a patch history covering scroll crashes, Empty Pot stacks, the Druid Scroll, new scroll spells, Quick Heal and Mirage summons
Consumables and potions in Romestead are single-use items that restore stats, cure conditions, or briefly buff a stat. The Cauldron is the primary crafting station for liquid consumables; bakery food handles longer-duration buffs (see Food and Cooking).
Tier | Base Potion | Upgraded Grades | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
Minor | Minor Health Potion | Minor Health Potion+, Minor Health Potion++ | The starter heal. |
Standard | Health Potion | Health Potion+, Health Potion++ | The middle step of the ladder. |
Major | Major Health Potion | Major Health Potion+, Major Health Potion++ | The largest restore of the three. |
The Cauldron itself is crafted from 4 Copper Bar and needs a Blacksmith at job level 1. Its recipe list covers the + and ++ grades of all three health potion tiers, so the upgraded grades are made at the Cauldron rather than looted. The Cauldron health potion recipe was fixed in patch 0.22.1_5. Health potions are essential before boss fights, especially the 10,000 HP Cyclops endurance test.
Energy Potion: restores energy used for blocking, dodging, and sprinting. Balanced in patches 0.20.1_14 and 0.20.2_2 (nerfed) and 0.20.2_1 (further nerf).
Major Energy Potion: the larger energy restore of the two.
Antidote: cures poison. Crafted from Poison Gland and herbal inputs.
Aloe Salve: grants immunity to burn damage and raises fire resistance by 20% for five minutes. Crafted at the Cauldron from 4 Aloe Vera, 1 Empty Pot, and 2 Mint, or found in regular chests in the Volcano biome.
Aloe Salves are the item the studio pointed to when it previewed the volcanic biome in October 2025, telling players to prepare them before heading in.
Major Poison: inflict poison on target.
Poison Mushroom: harmful when consumed.
Venus' Perfume: a Venus-aligned consumable themed to her domain.
Pots are placeable consumables that deal area damage or status effects when thrown. The Small Pot can be crafted at the Pottery for throwing or catapulting (patch 0.20.1_23). The studio's own description of the Pottery is that its pots can be thrown, shot, or struck to set them off. Empty Pot stack sizes were increased in hotfix 0.25.1_5 (May 30, 2026).
Small Pot: basic throwable.
Massive Pot: larger area effect.
Explosive Pot: explosion damage; one of the few things that damages the Desert Boss when immune (patch 0.19.2_2).
Incendiary Pot: sets ground on fire; can be triggered by fire (patch 0.22.1_6 era).
Lightning Pot: electric area damage.
Poison Pot: leaves a poison pool.
Hotfix 0.25.1_2 (May 27, 2026): crashes tied to some scrolls were fixed.
Hotfix 0.25.1_5 (May 30, 2026): stack sizes of Flour, Empty Pots and Nails increased.
Hotfix 0.25.1_12 (June 10, 2026): missing dungeon droptables were added, so items that were previously unobtainable, including the Druid Scroll, now drop.
Autumn Update 0.26.1 (August 31, 2026): new spells were added to some scrolls; the notes do not name them. Scrolls themselves are magic weapons rather than consumables.
Hotfix 0.26.1_3 (September 1, 2026): the Quick Heal action was added back and put in the Steam Input action manifest, so it can be bound on a controller; the notes do not describe what it does beyond the name. Mirage scroll summons no longer block gates in challenge dungeons.
Some consumables provide unique effects. The Knuckle Dash ability scales with other unarmed damage buffs since patch 0.21.1_8. Bakery dishes (see Food and Cooking) stack with potion effects for layered combat preparation.
Combat: how consumables fit into combat preparation.
Resources and Materials: inputs for potions.
Trinkets: permanent accessory effects vs single-use potions.
